Gil you have asked some very good questions why does bad things happen in the
world i personally do nt know God did nt explain
to Job either why he had
to suffer.What i do know is that God desires that none of us should perish but that all would have eternal life in him
through Jesus Christ.This
world will one day pass away and the real
world will be reborn so our focus as christians is on whats
to come and being a witness in the here and now.Both good and bad happens
to either the righteous or the sinner so what are we
to make of that.What we do know is that God will set all things right at the appointed time the wicked will be judged and the righteous will be rewarded for there faith isnt that enough reason for us
to believe.Free will is only a reality if we can choose between good and bad but our hearts are deceitfully wicked we naturally are inclined toward sin that is another reason whyt we need
to be saved from ourselves so what are we
to do.For me Christ died and rose again that is a fact witnessed by over 500 people that were alive at the time and was recorded by historians how many other religious leaders do you know that did that or did the miracles that Jesus did.As far as the bible is concerned much of the archelogical evidence has proven
to be correct and many of prophetic words
spoken many hundreds of years ago have come
to pass including both the birth and the death of Jesus.Interested in what philosophy you are believing in if other than a faith in Jesus Christ so how does that philosophy give you the assurance that you are saved.Its really simple with christianity we just have
to believe in Jesus Christ.brentnz

to the masses the next: No; Christ is consistent, He is Grounded in His word; those that waver are not stable in anything, even as is written: I truly know now the you truly do have a mocking spirit in you, because again Christ is not Bi-polar: Go re-read you other post and see if they are the words of my Lord, then ask if anyone will be willing
to follow you even as you are of Christ: The false Christ comes up along side of the truth Christ
to pervert everything that is of God: That is how all these sects are again formed, many started of in the truth, but went out from the Word of our Lord even
through Paul now
to become their own god: You are now an example of what I
speak: Thank - you Gary; In Jesus Name Alexandria:
